HAIR-RIBBON FASTENER.

Application led August 28, 1916.

To all LU/'tom t may conce/rn Be it known that I, EDWARD M. DRoLL, a citizen of the United States, residing at lt/linneapolis, in the county of Hennepin and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in `Hair-Ribbon Fasteners, of which the following is a speciication.

This invention relates to a fastener designed especially for securing bows to the hair, though its use is not limited to this one purpose.

rllhe invention consists in the novel fea-- tures of construction hereinafter described, pointed out in the claims, and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is an inverted plan view, a hair securing pin being shown in open position.

Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the fastener.

Fig 4 is a plan view of the blank from which the body portion of the device is formed.

5 is a section on lthe line 5-5 of Fig. 3, the pins being in closed position and a bow being attached.

In the drawings 1 designates a plate centrally and longitudinally depressed on its upper, or outer face as at 2, thereby forming a longitudinal rib 8 on its under face.

0n this rib is a covering of rubber indicated at 1.

A second plate 5, somewhat wider than the first mentioned plate rests over the plate 1 and is cut out to fit over the rib 3, said plate securing the edges of the covering 4t.

ln Fig. 4 I have illustrated the blank from which these plates are formed.

A designates a plate having a longitudinal depression B. lt is united by a neck C to a wider plate D centrally out out as at E, and having curved end projections F.

rlhe depression B forms the rib 3, and the plate D is brought over the plate A by bending the neck C, the opening E receiving the rib, and the marginal portions of the plate D are then bent over the edges of the plate A. This bending of the marginal portions of plate D forms the flanges 6 on plate 5 as shown in Fig. 3.

1t will of course be understood that the Specification of Letters Patent.

covering l is applied to the blank A before plate D is brought into position.

A suitable pin 8 of the safety type is carried longitudinally by the outer face of the plate 1. A U-shaped pin 9 is carried longitudinally by the outer face of the plate 5, the bou1 portion of said pin being' mounted in a sleeve 10, formed from the neck C of the blank, and the ends of the pin members are slightly angled as at 11 and adapted to engage 'the guards 7 formed by the projections F of the blank.

1n use the hair is clamped between the pin members 9 and the covering i of the rib 3, which prevents slipping of the fastener along the hair, especially when the bow is applied to a braid, while the bow to be secured in place is engaged by the safety pin 8 in the usual manner. ,i

The plates 1 and 5 together form the body of the fastener and the pins are carried respectively by the outer and inner faces of the body, the covering at being considered as the inner face of the body.

that l claim is 1. A fastener of the kind described comprising a body portion having a longitudinal raised portion on its inner face, a U- shaped pin carried by said body the pin members in closed position lying parallel to and on opposite sides of said raised portion, and a pin of the safety type carried by the outer' face of said body.

2. A hair bow fastener comprising a body having a longitudinal depression on one side and a rib on the opposite side, a rubber or equivalent covering for said rib, a U-shaped pin carried by an end of the body portion and adapted to lie in closed position on the side having said rib, and a safety pin car ried longitudinally by the opposite side of the body.

3. A hair fastener for bows comprising two cooperating plates secured together, one of said plates having a longitudinal rib and the other plate having a cut out portion to receive the rib, a covering for the rib the edges of said covering being held between the plates, and pins carried by opposite sides pf said fastener, as and for the purpose set orth.

4. A hair bow fastener comprising integetlie along their longitudinal edges, one

of said plates being centrally out out, a

krib on the otliei" plate projecting through said out out portion, a covering for said rib, a U-shaped pin mounted in the sleeve and adapted to embrace said rib and to bind the hair between the said pin and the rib covering, and a safety pin ycarried b v the outer face of the plate having they rib, and adapt-r ed to engage a bow or ribbon.
